The Ruins Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2003

An intense deep garnet coloured wine with subtle touches of black fruit and hits of spice. Mocha, liquorice and black cherries on the nose; ending with a natural sweetness (meatiness) on the back palate. Enjoy this wine now to endeavour the fruitiness of the New World wine.
